35 servers thats the same number Wow had lined up at launch for the US.

Im really glad they went RP/Open RvR. Didn't think it was going to happen.

Ah christ.. now I don't know what to pick. :(

The guild I am in is going core server though we will need to pick a new server since Todbringer will not be there at launch.

Wonder what KoS will do, since Blood Keep didn't make the list.

The tards I play with insist on going open rvr, *rolls eyes*.

this is the list for the european servers :)

i must say they are confident, lets hope the servers will fill up nicely

This is a ton of servers... hope they didn't overextend.

say 4000 pop per server and 60k CE sold (out), that would leave 80k slots. I don't know about pre-order sales but it certainly sounds like they will be having to add servers before launch day.

Also, have pitty on the Europeans if this turns out to be anything like the 500k sub game it promisses to be. GOA will make a terrible terrible mess of things.

The open RVR concept is an extremly poor after thought, just being able to enter a scenario below or above your level will unbalance things even with the modifiers applied. My advice stay away from them.

Wow... thats 53 servers, almost double of the US.

So in total they are expecting around 350k players in the first couple of weeks. That still seems a tad low given the 900k beta applicants. So it sounds reasonable, but also quite a feat if they manage to fill 350k in the first couple of weeks. They are def. sizing up to Wow numbers, they may aim to have not enough servers on purpose (like wow did) for the media attention it will generate (and with that more sales as was the case for wow).

Wish they gave the exact location of the servers (which state) so we'd know which was closest to where we are in the country.

Is it just East coast West coast locations?  Or just a single conglomerate?  Or does anyone know?

Anyone have a link to that wow dev at last years E3 saying warhammer won't pose any threat, they will be lucky to have 80k at launch? I bet he feels stupid as hell right now.

The servers are in MAE East. Also, the internet and connectivity is not governed by physical distance.

Open RVR!!! =)

Roleplay and Roleplay/Open RvR

Any server flagged as Roleplay will follow the same rules as above, but with an additional set of guidelines. These servers are for those players who enjoy truly immersing themselves into the Warhammer lore by acting as their characters’ personalities in-game. Players who opt to participate on a Role Playing server must agree to far more specific rules regarding naming, and it is suggested that players would adhere to WAR or high fantasy conduct and behavior.

I never thought this game would have rp, really??!?? lol...wonder how it will work with the way their chat system is as well...yuckity yuck yuck. o.0

I predict 200k - 250k at launch max of 500k. Anyone think more then 500k?

Thorgrim

Thorgrim from the Conan movie for those of you that didn't know.
He was also a professional football player, I forget for which team.
